mandatory access control
Mandatory access control is a security model that enforces restrictions on data access based on predetermined security policies. It is based on the principle of defining access permissions for users or processes, and ensuring that these permissions are strictly enforced by the system. This control mechanism is in contrast to discretionary access control, where the owner of the data determines access permissions. Mandatory access control is typically used in high-security environments where strict control over data access is required.
